Study Notes

Population and Vital Statistics

Population growth from 75.3 million in 2000 to 109 million in 2020.
Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) calculated by:
- (Total deaths <1 year x 1000) / Total live births.
Life expectancy increased from 68.6 years in 1999 to 71 years in 2019, with females at 71.28 years and males at 66.03 years.
In 1994, 39% of the population was aged 0-14; 5% were 60 years or older.
Dependency ratio of 79; for every 100 people of working age (15-59), there are 79 dependents (ages 0-14 and 60+).
Population density averages 249 people per square kilometer; Metro Manila has the highest at 16,051, while CAR has the lowest at 75.

Health Metrics

Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) determined by:
- (Total maternal deaths x 1000) / Total live births.
Specific mortality rates assess deaths from designated causes per 1,000 person-years at risk.

Health Promotion Models

Pender’s Health Promotion Model emphasizes:
- Individual characteristics, behavior-specific cognitions, and behavioral outcomes.
Lawrence Green's Precede-Proceed Model aids in health program planning, evaluation, and situational analysis.

Occupational Health Nursing

Focuses on worker health in community settings, ensuring safety and addressing health hazards.
Research-based practice emphasizes health optimization and illness prevention.

Infectious Disease Concepts

A source of infection is any location where infection agents live and propagate, can be humans or animals.
Incidence refers to new cases of disease within a population over a specified timeframe (typically one year).
Isolation is used to prevent the spread of infectious agents from infected individuals to others.
Quarantine restricts movement of healthy individuals exposed to infectious pathogens to prevent spread during the incubation period.

Epidemiological Method

Uses a cyclical approach to identify and control health issues, focusing on affected persons, locations, and timelines.
Steps include determining:
- Who is affected, where they live, when they were exposed, causal factors, and prevalence/incidence rates.
Control plans based on population needs, legal mandates, and community priorities are essential for effective implementation.

Epidemiological Process

Encompasses eight steps that may overlap, focusing on:
- Defining the nature and significance of health issues.
- Identifying determinants and implementing control plans.
Evaluation of plans involves comparing current outcomes to pre-investigation scenarios to assess improvements.
